I loved sharing my favorite reads with my daughter, too. Henry Huggins (Higgins?) and his paper route was another favorite. I have girlfriends in their 60’s who remind me of Beezus and Ramona. Always gives me a smile to imagine them when they were girls 😀
I still love the Phantom Tollbooth and the Little Prince, both books whose authors recognized that children absorb far more of the world than they can articulate. Exploring and contextualizing a variety of emotions allows children to process their often complex feelings.
